'The Bachelor' Body Language: Was Rozyln Telling the Truth?

By Jo Piazza Posted Feb 23rd 2010 03:45PM

Actions speak louder than words, Rozlyn! Disgraced 'Bachelor' contestant Rozlyn Papa, who was booted from the show mid-season for having an inappropriate relationship with a producer, still has something to hide, according to our body language experts. When host Chris Harrison confronted her on the 'Bachelor: Women Tell All' special on Monday night, Roz was not being entirely truthful.

Our experts say declaratory statements often indicate deception, so Rozlyn probably wasn't telling the whole truth when she declared, "On my child's life, that never happened!"

The tone of her voice was also a giveaway that the blonde beauty wasn't being entirely honest.

"When denying the accusations, the pitch of her voice was considerably higher, this is indicative of stress," explains body language expert Vincent Harris. "When we are being deceptive or lying, we become more stressed."

Her stance also indicated fear. "She moved her hands to interlock around her crossed legs at the front of her shin in a log cabin guard. This low log cabin shows she is very fearful. She is still protecting herself. Even though her back is up and she is nodding her head, her lower body is showing she is scared of what Chris will say next," explains body language expert Patti Wood.

The other bachelorettes expressed their mortification at Rozlyn's actions through self-satisfied smirks while they watched her squirm in the hot seat. The camera continually panned to Ashley, who wasn't delighting as much as everyone else. Ashley was pissed!

"We see Ashley lips tightly pressed downward and her angry eyes. Ashley is dying to yell something," Wood explains.

As Harrison repeatedly asked Rozlyn whether anything inappropriate occurred in the house, her brow furrowed, another sign of anxiety and stress.

When Ella started to get judgey about Rozlyn's actions, if you watch closely you can see Rozlyn's top lip start to curl.

"This is a sign of her underlying anger; anger that she is working to suppress, but that is leaking out anyway. These small 'leaks' are all but impossible to conceal, hide or prevent, and give us a sneak peek at what emotion she is really feeling," Harris says.

But she isn't just lying about her relationship with the producer. Rozlyn seems to be lying about everything. At one point, she tells the other ladies that she never said anything bad about them after she left the show. Probably not true.

"She shoulder shrugs when she says she never said anything but nice things about the other women," says Janine Driver, author of 'YOU SAY MORE THAN YOU THINK: A 7-Day Plan For Using the New Body Language to Get What You Want!' "Which means it's deception. A shoulder shrug cancels out the verbal message so we know she has talked negatively about these women in the past."

And what's Chris Harrison trying to hide? When Roz bit back at Chris, claiming he hit on her producer friend's wife in New Zealand, Chris got a little cagey.

"Chris broke eye contact, looked down and appeared to struggle with making direct eye contact with Rozlyn again. Chris can clearly be seen swallowing -- a clear sign of anxiety and nervousness when read in context. My hunch is that there is probably more to the New Zealand story than Harrison would like to discuss," Harris explains.

Oh what a tangled web we weave when we appear on reality television.

The bachelor and bachelorette shows are both stupid.
Just a bunch of people that can't find someone on their
own and they need to stoop to lower levels to find
someone. Do it on your own or maybe you are not meant
to be with anyone.

By cynharrelson

I "think" she was trying to do the Sharon Stone thing in Basic Instinct. FYI...Stone Pulled It Off Quite Well! Rozlyn...Not So Much. Rozlyn... You're 15 minutes are Up! Next! LMFAO!

By Rich

Why are we assuming the producer is a "he"?

By Playin

Who the FOCK cares??

By sharon debaere

I think she knew what was ahead of her for the show, and had it figured out what she was going to say. I also think she thinks she can lie and not get caught, almost like shes a pro at it. I think Chris was stuned and of course he was speechless, wasnt expecting her to make him look bad and it showed how she was furious with him, who else was she going to pick on!!!

By HRK

Who cares! Yes, she lied. She slept with the guy and this happens all the time on other shows, as well. Let us move on and leave the poor mom sleep with anyone she wants. The bachlor
slept with most of the women. Ha!

I firmly believe that Roz is not telling the total truth and the girls have no reason to tell the stories they told. But what I want to know is why the show is protecting "The Producer's" identity. Roz got grilled, why not him.... and for those who say she will probably end up on the pages of Playboy... I believe Playboy is far too classy for her... Sorry Roz....

By mary

that girl is a real biatch! & low class to boot! she should not have brought up that accusation about chris harrison .. anyway who would beleive what that nasty girl had to say??

By kpcharmd1

I wouldn't be surprised if Jake doesn't or already has made a move on the host Chris Harrison. After all, when he asked him during between takes on the show about his teeth, the show should have renamed him, "Woody".

WHO THE HELL CARES . . . ???

By Jenn

I feel sorry for her poor son, She really is a horrible liar and person.

By diane

This woman is a legend in her own mind. Of course she was lying. The other ladies had no reason to lie. R was clearly avoiding the truth. I didn't need body language to see it.

Oh, God!! Another piece of trash on TV.

By fred

Why is she being singled out for having an inappropriate affair. The whole show is inappropriate. Wemen lowering their own dignity to try to win the favors of some guy that they don't really know anything about. NOW fought for years so that wemen could be treated with dignaty and respect. Today, these wemen are letting television and Hollywood treat them like they are just cheap trash put here on earth to entertain the vulgar thoughts of men. All that work for nothing.

Jake will pick TENLEY, She's the best for him. Vienna should have been eliminated at the first rose ceremony

By Sereta

Guess we need something mindless to watch on TV. I probably won't watch the show again...they do seem to make controversy for ratings. He really should have sent Vienna home many shows ago, but it makes good TV.
